Nickey4271647545519 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 You won't have to replace them. So long as youre careful taking the cam out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt-titan Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 ok cool....i was thinking of using the gear to help on getting it out and putting it back in...do they make a tool for that?? it has to be a little harder and heavier with the motor in the car..thanks for the info...

Nickey4271647545519 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yeah they make a tool for cam removal/installation. But I just use bolts threaded into the end of the cam. Here's the tool. http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS-Performance-Products/JEGS-Camshaft-Installation-Removal-Tool/1045089/10002/-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
